Description: | A copper-alloy zoomorphic Anglo-Saxon strap-end dating from the 9th century. The strap-end retains some of the silver plate that would have covered the copper-alloy object. There are traces of decoration, zoomorphic in design, on this silver plate. The tip of the strap end has two raised knops for the animals' eyes, and ends in a snout which also retains silvering. There are the remains of two rivet holes at the rear of the strap end. The reverse is plain and does not appear to have been silver plated.The strap end measures 36.72mm long, 8.98mm wide and is 2.06mm thick. It weighs 3.4gms.
